Surgical treatment of juxtaradicular periodontitis.
A retrospective study was performed on surgically treated localized juxtaradicular periodontitis. 23 teeth were operated on during the years 1971-1976. The majority of these (79%) were incisors or cuspids. The most common etiological factor was iatrogenic root perforation. The postoperative healing process was completely successful in 57% of the cases.
